This home is nestled on the hilltop within town, however, due to beautiful foliage is completely private from the main road from Spring to early Fall. This home's exterior and parts of the interior walls retain the original imported Italian Stone. 496 Grand Avenue was built in 1949, with additions completed in the early 2000s. Most of the original interior walls are covered in solid wood planks. The master bedroom and additions have drywall. And both upstairs bathrooms have unique tile work from the ground up. The Master Bedroom includes a two-person jetted whirlpool tub and ensuite. Most floors on the main level are lightly stained pine, the dedicated laundry room has linoleum floor tiles. The kitchen has a tiled backsplash, dark stone counter tops, with light cabinetry. The floors in the kitchen are marble and tilework. The bonus room towards the back of the house has floor to ceiling windows facing an amazing view of the forest and the North Fork of the Kentucky River beyond the property line. All windows facing the back of the house offer the same wonderous view. Just below this bonus room is a screened in porch that allows you to breathe in that forest air. There is a private entrance to this bonus room from a wooden deck and stairs, plus a private entrance through the screened in porch to the basement apartment. Which includes a third full bathroom, small living area, bedroom area, and kitchen with a sink and oven/stove. There is a door beyond the kitchen that leads to unfinished basement space, there you will find a hall with a storage nook and another potential room. The house has a large front porch, which can be admired through the large bay window in the living room. There are ramps on opposite ends of the porch and steps in the center. If you follow those center stairs you will walk up to a concrete pad boasting an outdoor stone fireplace. The roof/gutters on the house and detached 2 car garage/workshop were completely redone in 2015. The porch was rebuilt the spring after. The house is heated by gas fireplaces in the winter, although you have the option of forced air electric heating. There is a parking area beside the house and a looping drive way with the potential for another parking area, however that road has not been graveled in some time. This home really is a beautiful historic part of the area, however much like most older homes it does need some work and a few finishing touches to make it your own. However, there is so much potential for extra rental income (Airbnb maybe?) or to make it your family's perfect mountain home. More pictures to come. House will be available for viewing April 24, 2023. The house will be sold as is. HVAC system does need to be repaired.
